Ken Roczen to miss final two Supercross rounds, to heal from shoulder, ankle injuries
Ken Roczen will miss the final two rounds of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season so he can spend the time healing from shoulder and ankle injuries. Roczen suffered further damage to his right ankle this week during a practice session. Advertisement Despite riding with injury, Roczen finished in the top 10 in every race since Tampa, Florida, in Round 5. He has slowly lost contact with the championship battle, and with a 54-point deficit to Cooper Webb, he was mathematically eliminated last week in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "It's tough to step away with just two rounds remaining," said Roczen in a news release. "But with the new injury, I need to prioritize long-term health and recovery. I'm proud of what we've accomplished so far this season and I'll be supporting the team as they head into the final rounds." The additional injury to his ankle will require Roczen to undergo surgery. Any complications could put the start of the Pro Motocross season, which begins May 24, 2025 at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. "Ken has been pushing through a lot of adversity this season," Larry Brooks, HEP Motorsports/Suzuki Team Manager, said. "He's been incredibly tough and focused on delivering for the team each weekend, even while managing pain. This new development is unfortunate, but we support him fully in taking the necessary steps to heal properly."

Supercross 2025 betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines at Birmingham: Justin Cooper's podium odds improve
Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton remain the favorites at but Justin Cooper's odds for a podium finish remarkably shifted heading into Round 10 of the Monster Energy Supercross series at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama. The three favorites showed little or no change in the outright win odds this week in Birmingham compared to last week in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Supercross' official traders continue to value them highly. Last week's winner in Indy had a raw opening line of +131 ahead of his dominant victory. His movement was minuscule this week to +131 while showing a lowering since he was listed at +140 for Daytona. To generate some excitement for the points leader, Webb's odds of standing on the podium actually shortened from -384 in Indy to -305 in Birmingham. The most significant change for Webb entering Round 10 is his odds to win the championship. Two weeks ago, when he entered Daytona, he was practically even money with a line of -105. After a strong showing of second there, coupled with a weak effort by Chase Sexton, Webb moved to -122 upon entering Indiana and is -273 heading to Alabama. Webb has a 15-point lead over Sexton in the championship standings. Sexton remains +180 this week for the overall win in Birmingham, while the only other rider under 5/1, Ken Roczen, remains +400. Roczen won Daytona two rounds ago with a line of +487. Roczen is +104 to stand on the podium this week. But Roczen may yet provide a relevant bet in one of head-to-head matchups. He struggled last week and finished seventh, while Aaron Plessinger earned his second consecutive top-five finish. Roczen is heavily favored in this matchup at -178 to Plessinger's +133, so bettors will wish to pay close attention to how these riders look in practice. Last week's second-place finisher, Cooper, remains a longshot for the overall victory with a raw opening line of +2319 (more than 23/1). Still, he forced the traders to pay close attention to his podium potential. He paid out at +348 for his Indy effort, so shaved 63 points off his line for Birmingham (+285). Plessinger's odds of standing on the podium this week were lowered from +254 to +225, but there is still a little juice to be squeezed from the Cowboy. Plessinger is Justin Barcia was one of the featured riders last week. He has been strong in Indianapolis and had a line of +462 to stand on the podium. He narrowly missed paying out with a finish of fourth. That got the traders' attention, and Barcia's odds were lowered to +407 for Birmingham. Momentum from last week's strong ride could play a factor this week. Jason Anderson went the opposite direction and saw his odds move from +240 in Indianapolis to +262 for Birmingham. With three podium finishes and another trio of top-10s in the first nine rounds, Anderson is capable of contending for a spot on the box on any given week, but he has been erratic with two 11th-place results in the last three weekends.

Ken Roczen becomes a United States citizen
Ken Roczen became an American citizen this week after being awarded the right on Thursday, "It is not very often you leave the house as a German and come back as an American," Roczen posted on social media. "I am finally a US Citizen, and I wouldn't want it any other way." Born in Mattstedt, Germany, on April 29, 1994, the 30-year-old began his professional dirt bike career in 2009, racing in the MX2 division of the European-based MXGP. He scored his first victory in his fourth round of competition that year. Roczen won the MX2 championship two seasons later, in 2011. Immediately after securing that title, Roczen moved to the American-based AMA Supercross series at the end of the 2011 season, finishing second in the first main event for which he qualified and winning the following round. Roczen quickly moved up to the 450 division in 2014. Roczen has one win so far in 2025 in 450s and six podiums in nine starts. He is currently third in the championship standings behind Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton.
